I like to be able to control an external application (Specifically ICQ)

I like to control ICQ, a web based massaging application. (Http://www.ICQ.com). My knowledge of ACTIVE X is very limited so if some one can recommend a web page that explains ACTIVE X at a very beginner�s level I will appreciate it. Also if some one could mention what sort of information I need from ICQ to enable me to do that it will be very helpful.

There are some applications which are designed to be controlled from other programs and systems (Microsoft Office is a good example for me). On the Windows Platform, the method of control is ActiveX.
The ActiveX functionality must be part of the program design. If an application is not designed and written to allow ActiveX control from external applications, you cannot use ActiveX for controlling this application.
The lowest common denominator for controlling applications which offer NO interface for external control is simulation of keypresses through the System. Needless to say this is extremely awkward and problematic.
Bottom line: Not all applications can be "within reason" controlled by an external program. If ICQ does not offer
an interface for external control, then maybe there is a similar product which has the same functionality as ICQ which DOES have an ACtiveX interface.

  • How can we control the external application

    Hi Friends
    I have an GUI Application. There is a JFrame in which if i press the HOME key then it'll launch the new application suppose the notepad.exe using the Robot class. then whatever the user right in the notepad that event should fetch in the application. i mean if user press any key then it should fetch in my application(JFrame).At that time my Swing JFrame is in background.
    So i want to fetch the key event or mouse event when my application is in background and other application is in front.

    yes its like a Macro.
    i had done project which will run the external exe file. for exapmle its notepad.exe
    when ever notepad.exe run from my program that time my program go into background and notepad screen come in to front.
    So what ever u write into notepad it will not available into my application becoz its in background.
    i want to fetch the keys which is pressed for notepad (for writing purpose and may be ENTER,DEL,HOME,END PAGE UP,etc.) so i want that keypressed event in my project (application).
    i hope now u can understand.

  • Access labview controls from external application

    Hi! There's an application written in LabView that shows dialog messages with buttons and textboxes. I'm writing a C# application that automatically fills these textboxes and clicks on buttons. I'm using user32.dll functions to find windows and controls, but at Labview's windows I cannot see any controls inside(with spy++ and ui spy). Is there a way to access these controls using other DLL files or sending special messages to the main window?
    Tnahks for your help!

    LabVIEW does not use Windows controls in its frontpanel, as that would not be portable to non-Windows platforms. So there is no way to do classical Windows handles peek and friends. But LabVIEW allows to control a subset of its VI Server interface through ActiveX.
    The application needs to be build with that in mind, and there need to be some settings in the INI file to configure this functionality. Then you can connect to the LabVIEW ActiveX Server and control VIs and also controls to some extend.

  • I would like to use one library but with multiple ipods, but because they are my kids Ipods, and they each have their own gift cards, I'd like to be able to add money to their "profiles" without them having their own account - what is the best way

    So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste.  I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file.  Does this make sense?  Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod.  Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances.  With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries?  We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
    What is the best way?  I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit.  For simplicity sake.
    We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
    Thoughts?

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • Unable to remote control 'Windows 8' applications running as administrator using OCS 2007 R2

    Hi,
           While we are doing desktop sharing of a windows 8 system using OCS 2007, we are unable to control a few applications such as CMD Prompt - run as administrator, Device manager, Registry, etc.. even though the UAC setting is 'Never
    notify'. Whereas, we are able to control all other applications without any issue. Is this a known issue? 
    Thanks,

  • How could you use an iPad2 to view (without being able to control) what is projected from a teacher laptop?

    A low-vision student with an iPad would like to be able to see on the iPad what the teacher is displaying on the electronic whiteboard. Is there a device or app that can accommodate this student? We would expect that the student would not be able to control the teacher computer with this setup.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    a manual backup should help to transfer your data and apps.
    Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing and save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to the new itunes library.
    See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    After that, transfer your purchases the same way by choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored again from the manual backup you made before.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I would like to be able to see my work and personal calendars in one view although I'm having a lot of difficulties.

    I have :-
    An iPhone 4S set up with my personal calendar syncing to my iCloud account. All works fine.
    A blackberry 9320 from work which is set using enterprise and encrypted with my corporate email (outlook 2010) and calendar. All works fine
    I'd like to be able to see all my appointments/calendar all in one view so I can ensure I don't have meetings clash. This however seems impossible and I'd like some help.
    So far I have tried using the active sync function to pull my corporate calendar through to my iPhone, this was successful but my company has now after 3 months disabled the function (after a new sever install, and despite challenging it is still not likely to be turned back on,due to security concerns).
    I have tried entering a gmail calendar or iCloud calendar to my blackberry but again this is restricted by my company (to reduce data charges).
    I'm currently struggling with inviting each calendar to each event but is not always easy and I'm getting muddled.
    (Btw reverting to just my corporate calendar is not possible as I need to share my personal calendar with my wife, or I'd never see her).
    Does anyone have any advice, app, procedure to help me get both of these together.
    Thanks

    What app are you using to access your email?  That is where I would start first.  Also check the webpage desktop version of your email homepage for further options in settings regarding personal options to include folders, views, and etc...

  • I would like to be able to download updates for my Iphone and Ipad on my work computer but my home computer has all of my music on Itunes.  How do i downlaod updates at work without deleting all of the music which is stored on my home computer/Itunes?

    - An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
    - Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

    If you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) and the video that your camera generates is in one of the formats tha the iPad supports then you can directly move it to the iPad with a USB connection.

    According to the publisher For GoSystem Tax, the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10 is required.  Which means it can't be accessed from an iPad.  This seems weird.  I would recommend you contact the publisher.

    There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
    There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there.
